I like Colbert and often find his antics funny. I’m a Christian and am pretty sure Jesus had/has a great sense of humor, but it does distress me when Colbert is described as a practicing Catholic, yet takes God’s name in vain during his schtick. That is off limits.

Matt 6:24
24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

That is off limits.

I knew a good Catholic girl once. Never said “God damn” or tolerated anyone who said it. But the f-word? The s-word? Even worse and more raunchy words?

Those were OK fine. She said ‘em all the time. Just not “God damn”.

I never understood that.

Let me know when Colbert takes a run at Mohammed and the Koran. Until then, he’s just another media weasel taking cheap shots at beliefs that are the foundation for our entire civilization.

Since I don't watch television, I have no knowledge of this mini-series or any of the people involved, and that seems to be the target of Colbert's humor. Is Colbert slandering these people or not? Take the “Immaculate audition.” If it's true it's funny, if it isn't true it is reprehensible he would slander someone that way.

As for taking God's name in vain, that is off limits but keep it in the context of the story he is telling and you may see it differently. He isn't saying it, but quoting a fictitious viewer. I don't really know if that "crosses the line."

I didn't start writing this to defend Colbert, who I have never seen and don't even know. But it occurred to me while writing that the only offense I see is the insinuations he makes may be false, so I plead ignorance on that.
